There's some debate on the "vga=791" option not properly working for Gutsy. I removed it and this happened to work for me: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=8d6cb6c2-79d8-4e49 -ac5d-9ad8f2d3df42 ro quiet nosplash I disabled splash because i want to see the boot messages. But maybe this also work with the "splash" option set. -- Black screen, and bad usplash.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150930 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
